She is seen with two young children who were not, according to court records, in the car at the time of her arrest.

Here is the police report narrative written by the arresting officer:

On 7/11/2014 at 0047 hours, Officer Graham stopped a vehicle at about 2100 North I-95(southbound lanes), Boca Raton, Florida for driving erratically. He observed signs ofpossible impairment coming from the driver, Sari Ross. There were no passengers. He calledme to the scene at 0050 hours. I arrived at 0054 hours. After speaking with OfficerGraham, I spoke with Ross as she was still sitting in the driver`s seat with the enginerunning. See Officer Graham`s report for further.

Ross stated she was coming from a restaurant on Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach and wastrying to get home. She was driving in the opposite direction from her house, which shehas lived at for several years. She stated she had 2 Vodka drinks tonight. I was able tosmell an odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from her breath. Her eyes were red andglassy. Her speech was slurred. Her face was red and flush.

I set up my in car camera and asked her to exit the vehicle. She was walking slowly. Shewas swaying while standing. I asked her if she would attempt the standard road sidesobriety tasks to dispel my alarm that she was driving impaired. She stated she would. Shestated she had no injuries and takes no medications.

There first task was the horizontal gaze nystagmus. She was swaying side to side and frontto back at times. There was a lack of smooth pursuit in each eye. Distinct and sustainednystagmus at maximum deviation in each eye. Onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in each eye. Ross was allowed to remove her heeled shoes. I moved my vehicle on a painted line along the roadway.

The second task was the walk and turn. She stumbled and walked off the line on the 1ststep. She was using her arms. She did not turn as instructed. She did not touch heel totoe on each step. She did not count her steps out loud.The third task was the one leg stand. She raised her left leg. She raised her arms. Shedropped her foot to the ground at her count of 1 and then stopped. She then started to cry. It did not look like she wanted to continue. She was still crying. I asked her if she wanted to continue or stop. She finally stated she wanted to stop.

At 0120 hours, I placed her under arrest. The vehicle was removed by Emerald Towing. Itransported her to the BRPD.

Officer Peck conducted The Intoxilyzer 8000 testing. I asked Ross if she would provide abreath sample. She stated, I will not. I read her Implied Consent. She had no questions. Iasked her again to provide a breath sample and she stated no. She was issued a refusal at 0157 hours.
